It's smoky.

4. I feel the same.

Everything is too dry and crispy crittered. The Western Red Cedar in my parking strip has dead and dried up fronds on the side where the sun blasts on it during the afternoon. It makes me feel so bad when I look at it. The Incense Cedar planted at the north end of the strip is in much better shape. I noticed today that it is shaded by a black walnut tree. That bit of shade has made a huge difference. I very much miss our more normal weather.
